SET PRODUCTOFFERING (Set the product offering that is licensed to your enterprise)

Use the SET PRODUCTOFFERING command to define the IBM Spectrum® Protect product offering that is licensed to your enterprise.

The definition is used to determine whether automatic storage capacity measurement calculations are required and made available for use by the IBM® License Metric Tool (ILMT). Run this command only if you are using ILMT to determine license consumption.

For product offerings where automatic storage capacity measurement calculations are made available for use by ILMT, the parameter also defines which capacity measurement approach is used for those calculations.

The capacity measurement approach is defined by the licensing terms of your specific product offering. To determine the currently calculated storage capacity for your product offering, see Verifying license compliance.

The same storage capacity information is made available to ILMT on a weekly interval. After an applicable product offering is defined by using this command, IBM Spectrum Protect makes the current capacity calculation for that offering available to the ILMT. After the initial capacity calculation is made available to ILMT, IBM Spectrum Protect updates the value weekly.

Privilege class
